Yeah if you're keeping the car for 2years i'd invest in either some decent shocks + springs. Or get coilovers. I'm thinking of just going for the uprated shocks and springs option for mine.
hmmm, what kinda price for decent springs and shocks? cos theres a coilover kit for £270 by one of the forums sponsers.
Those wouldn't fit, these are the one's for our car

I have been thinking about these, but then have heard people go on about the whole 'you get what you pay for' kind of thing for cheap coilovers from there. Although i've not heard of anyone buying these exact ones, so... i dunno!
Why not just buy some half decent shocks + springs coming to around the same price as cheap coily's they'll give you a nice ride but theyre just not as adjustable height wise.
Yeah that's what i'm thinking of doing with mine. Would rather get something decent for my money than get something cheap and nasty that i'll regret in the long run.
Can anyone find good set of springs and shocks for decent price? Thing is, dont need whatever i got to last 10 years lol, just a few years till I sell it.
there are some good coilies on the clubpolo site for £230 delivered, im thinking about getting some as they are made from SS
i've heard coilies can be a pain in the ars to set up though? apparently if you set it up slightly wrong, then it'll **** everything up and you'll have **** ride!
they are not that hard to set up. just take your time when fitting and ensure that you have adjusted them to the right heigh on both sides.

I skidded on a oil spil yesterday and crashed into a curb doing 40mph, snapping my wish bone. Now my mecanic says it could be a write off depending on what else has damaged ie Drive shft, gear box, steering collumn and car stuctual damage.
So there could be 1 less non cupra owner on this site, sorry lads.

oh man
thats not good. are you going to keep it and try and buy a new car and sell yours as bits? or is this an incurance jobie ?
I'd cost it all with second hand bits where possible, might just be worth saving. Insurance would wreck it instantly though
Technically if u skidded and crashed on oil spil that hadn't had sand or whatever over it, can't you like claim off who ever spilt the oil? I know some one who skidded and crashed on mud and claimed off a farmer coz they didn't put signs or anythin up!
Good point and your right, however its going to be very hard to track the culprit.
